It's not clear to me as well. The "gpio-remote" can mean two different
things (at least in the camera serdes TI chips):

- a GPIO input on the the *local* chip, replicated as an output on the
*remote* chip
- a GPIO input on the the *remote* chip, replicated as an output on the
*local* chip

How to you differentiate them in DT?

The "pass" function is also not clear. A comprehensive example would
help a lot.

Bye,
